The Geopolitics of Rates: Semi-Annual Market Update with Lt. Gen. Karen Gibson (Ret.)

WHEN: Wednesday, July 8th, from 12:00 to 1:00pm

Join the Vermont Bond Bank on July 8th for our semi-annual market update webinar. The current rate environment is a geopolitical story: the conflict with Iran and the disruption at the Strait of Hormuz have moved both oil prices and Treasury rates. The municipal market has remained resilient, but macro trends are being driven by events overseas.

We're honored to be joined by Lieutenant General Karen Gibson (U.S. Army, Ret.), a 37-year public servant whose intelligence career included serving as Director of Intelligence for U.S. Central Command, the command responsible for the region. General Gibson will provide insight into the situation on the ground and the potential outcomes for the region under the current Memorandum of Understanding.

The discussion will be followed by a summary of current market conditions and the factors behind municipal market performance.
